Temecula, CA
At about 9:45 p.m., I went out front of my house to have a cigarette. I looked north towards my neighbor's house and noticed bright orange-rust colored lights, possibly over Corona, California. I wear glasses to correct my vision so I took off my glasses to make sure it wasn't an optical illusion on my lenses. The lights were still there. I put my glasses back on and watched as 3 orange lights danced around what looked like a commercial airliner. I could tell it was an airliner because of the red and white strobe lights and the slow movement of the craft. They looked almost like they were dog-fighting with the airliner. They were pulling some weird maneuvers around this airliner--for instance, going very very fast and then suddenly stopping near the airliner, then moving very fast past the airliner, then stopping suddenly again and repeating the process. The airliner looked like it made some course corrections, as if it was affected by the lights. Then one of the rust-colored lights became more dim, and then dissipated, like it just dissolved into nothing. The 2 remaining lights danced around as the airliner kept its original course heading approximately south-south east. After a few more seconds of making very quick, very minute course corrections now behind the airliner, they too both dissipated into nothingness one after another. I looked around my suburban neighborhood and noticed nobody was outside and nobody else saw this amazing dance in the sky. I then lit my cigarette and watched the sky waiting for more but saw only stars and more planes, but they were south of my location and weren't displaying any weird movements. I went inside and described my experience to my wife whom I abruptly woke up.

Mounds View, MN
I looked out bay window and saw 4 bright red lights out just above the trees. The strange thing was they were in the shape of a box and not blinking as they should on a plane or tower and they were standing still. As I went for my camera, my wife went out on the deck and she said, "They are not making any noise." As I got back and snapped a photo, the object in the lower left hand side had started moving to the north, then each followed, perfectly spaced, until they disappeared behind the trees. I went out my front door and went two houses down to the corner where I was them come out from behind the trees, stop for 5 second each than take off to the north climbing steeply and were not visible in 8-10 seconds. My wife came down and said two more came in behind the first four. We watched all 6 do the same exact stop in the sky for 5 seconds than off they went. I took 3 photos but only one turned out because of the street light and flash.

Too low to be a plane and it wasn't a shooting star.

Nashua, NH
Large sun looking object bright orange yellow coral colors. Looked like sun in sky, as drove closer it floated backward through neighborhoods over trees, tried following it down the streets but it was too high and fast In sky to keep up with it. We wonder whether the sighting occurred in the morning, as indicated above, or at night. Witness provides no contact information, so we are unable to confirm the time shown above is correct. PD

Unknown object flying near by JFK airport. Approx 2 miles from the airport. The object glowed a blue color for about 2 minutes then vanished. It looks like it was flying north east.

Monterey, CA
My friend called me outside and we could see a round object hovering in the sky. It was green and red. There was no sound, no trail, no glow around it like a street or car light, no blinking lights... it hovered for about six or seven minutes then started moving away to the left and disappeared. Being prior service military, I know it was not a radio controlled helicopter... I've never seen anything like this… We spoke with both witnesses, husband and wife, and they seemed to us to be quite serious-minded and sincere in their decription of the sighting. PD

Fairview, MT
We were sitting outside this evening and noticed this reddish colored object in the sky. Thought it was some sort of firework at first but then relized it should have burnt out and this one was farley high in the sky. It looked like it stopped a couple of times and then kept moving is a south westerly direction. It looked like it then disappeared into the clouds. There were 6 of us watching it we all are unclear of what it was something we have never seen before.

Mercury, NV
Spotted this on FlightRadar24 flight-tracking app, at location noted below. I was inclined to dismiss it as a storage tank until I noted that some sort of patch appears to covers corner of object. Follow Interstate 95 to Mercury, follow Mercury Highway past Old Indian Spring Road, look for an unnamed paved road on the right, it is before Cane Spring Road. Near intersection of Mercury Highway and unnamed road you will see circular structure on ground.

Eglon (Whidbey Island), WA
I was out on the deck around midnight and noticed a very bright light across the bay from Whidbey Island, looking towards Eglon, Washington. At first, i thought it was a light house since the light got bright and faded out, but then I noticed it was so strong that it illuminated the water. It was moving in a south to north pattern, it was NOT high in the sky, it was like right in front of the trees. I grabbed my camera and took 3 photos. The first two just show a bright, dot or something with a tail, but the 3rd photo shows a perfect circle in orange, and when blown up, there are several shades of color…

Point Pleasant, WV
I had taken one of my dogs out, and I noticed what looked like a very bright star in the north eastern sky. It was so bright that I thought it was probably a planet rather than a star, and I wondered if I could get a look at it through my husband’s telescope. Suddenly the object dimmed to almost a pin point. It seemed to be moving horizontally for a moment, but I really couldn’t tell. Suddenly, it was just gone. It went from being what seemed to be an unusually bright white star/planet in the night sky to being completely gone in less than a minute. It disappeared without a trail or any obvious movement. It was not a falling star or any kind of air craft that had colored lights. I did see the red/green flashing lights of an air craft in the south eastern sky a few moments later.

North Charleston, SC
Coming home from a birthday party that evening, I was sitting in the passenger seat looking at the clouds. It was a stormy night and the rain had just died down. The street was busy and the street lights were on. It occurred on the end of Ashley phosphate. As I was looking up towards the clouds I see this circular mass with lights around the edges of the craft emerge from the clouds. It was still slightly covered with clouds leaving it looking foggy. After it came down it went northwest and headed back up. about a second later the craft came down about 200ft away from the original position. The craft was dark and the lights were a white yellow color that were shadowed by the clouds. It was very large and was surprisingly close. The clouds were hanging low already and the ship had to be maybe two feet higher than the clouds itself.

Ann Arbor (Milan), MI
Saw 2 big orange/amber lights coming from the south of Milan. Could not tell what they where because no noice, or sound of propellers, went over my house, lights went out 2 saucer shaped objects appear flying toward ann arbor or north watched them disappeared into horizon. Me and my grandson where out in the deck drinking beer and watching the airplanes going and coming from Detroit metro. The light was like I never seen before, I swear we saw the saucer shape objects flying, no sound, but we could see saucer shape, could not get pics.

Laguna Beach, CA
We were sitting on our third floor patio which faces Newport Coast Drive in Newport Coast, California, and this bright light appeared to shoot up into the sky over the ocean (we guessed Laguna Beach area) and it would drop rapidly down. Saw red colors on it, and got binoculars and saw many colors like a prism. The light would shoot straight up and then travel a little and shoot down rapidly again. Guessed airplane, helicopter, but it was too quick to be either..

Pigeon Forge, TN
On 7/19/14, while vacationing in a cabin in the mountains just outside of Pigeon Forge, TN, I saw an unidentified object in the night sky. My niece and I were outside, on the balcony, it was overcast from the rain earlier in the day but was starting to clear. Suddenly, I saw a very bright white circular light behind the clouds, crossing the night sky at a very high rate of speed. It only took 2-3 seconds for the object to cross over from the ENE to the WSW. Because my niece was composing a text to her boyfriend at that moment, she didn’t see it.

I was heading south on Volunteer Parkway, when I noticed an object traveling in a southwest direction that was illuminated green in color moving very fast. I only saw it for about 2 to 3 seconds and at first thought it was a meteor entering the Earth's atmosphere, but afterwards I realized it didn't have a trail or light tail like most meteors one sees.

I was in my room when my nephew screams, "OH ((two words deleted)) (term of endearment used by African Americans) do you believe in aliens? Of course I said "hell no, why?" ((one word deleted)), YOU ABOUT TO BELIEVE TODAY! I believe! He says uncle I am not going to lie to you. I went to the back yard to get on the phone. I looked up and I saw a circle disk in the sky hovering! It was flashing red, blue, yellow, and pink lights on the sides. Then it took off in the night. "Did it make a sound as it took off?" I asked. "HELL NO! IT WAS JUST GONE!" He says, ((one word deleted)) I tell him. I went to the back yard with him. He was very jittery and didn't want to go in the fenced in backyard along side me. I ask him "where did you see this ((word deleted)) again?" He says "it was over by the shed, right above the tree." I ask him to walk along side the shed with me and he agreed. As we walked we heard bumping. And we ran OUR HAPPY ((one word deleted)) IN THE HOUSE! My nephew is the last person to play alien games! You see cause my nephew and I do not get along. And for him to come to me as scared as he was, I believe him.

Holden Beach, NC
Large red circles (not flashing) and no sound at all. They were pretty close. First two in formation one in front but slightly lower than the other. Flew slowly (no blinking) got to a certain point and just disappeared. Second two came into view and did exactly the same thing. Third set, the same, then a single one, same thing.
